UNSPSC 10141607: Animal collars

UNSPSC 10141607 Animal collars, a Commodity code, describes products and services supporting equine care and management at state and local facilities. Recent solicitations show that governments are buying farrier services — horseshoeing, trim work, borium application, emergency response, and related hoof care — and facility operations encompassing horse boarding, arena maintenance, and equestrian program management at municipal equestrian centers. The issuing bodies are city departments: the City of Pasadena Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department and the City of Albuquerque Police Department (via the city's Purchasing Division). Both seek multi-year contracts with experienced operators, emphasizing safety, compliance, and service quality for public-sector horses used in recreation, mounted police work, and community programming.

Activity under this code concentrates in the Southwest and California. The City of Pasadena issued RFP 2025RFP0456 on July 9, 2026, seeking a twenty-year equestrian facility operator (with two optional ten-year renewals) for the Pasadena Equestrian Center Arena, requiring five years of similar experience, mandatory pre-proposal meeting on January 15, 2026, and electronic submission by February 13, 2026, at 2:00 PM; evaluation emphasizes public benefit programs (30 points) and operational plans. The City of Albuquerque issued RFB RFB2025749POLDVREBID on February 13, 2026, for four-year farrier services to the Albuquerque Police Department Horse Mounted Unit, with bid closing March 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM Mountain Time; the farrier must hold a Farrier License Certification, demonstrate draft breed experience with photographic portfolio, meet one-hour emergency and four-hour non-emergency response standards, and perform all work at APD HMU stables. Both opportunities require electronic submission through municipal eProcurement portals and are awarded on lowest responsible bid or best value criteria.
